Chalmers' overarching research areas in urban and regional environments
Water
Access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene is the most basic human need for health and well-being. Demand for water is rising owing to rapid population growth, urbanization and increasing water needs from agriculture, industry, and energy sectors.

Infrastructure and urban planning
The world’s population is constantly increasing. We need new, intelligent urban planning that creates safe, affordable and sustainable cities with green and culturally inspiring living conditions. That demands a resilient and safe infrastructure for people, water and energy that can face climate hazards and an increasing population.
Infrastructure and urban planning for inclusive, safe and sustainable cities
Land use and construction on and below ground
Our research focus on climate adaptation, as well as planning and building for climate change, reducing the risk of natural disasters such as floods and landslides. It also deals with natural resources, resource flows, land use, material extraction and sustainable ecosystems.
Land use and construction on and below ground
Materials and circular economy
Our research address the unsustainable use of natural resources, which supports human well-being but also depletes nonrenewable resources, damages ecosystems, and generates waste and emissions contributing to climate change

Long-term decision-making processes and system transformations
Long-term decision-making processes and system transformation aim to create sustainable and resilient societies by developing frameworks, methods, tools, and technologies for transition, with an emphasis on integrated societal planning in energy, transportation, and construction at various levels
